  • cars that dont come with turn signals

    ppl who dont pick up after their dog

    ppl who leave their dogs or kids in the car (even if its for a min)

    ppl that wear white socks with black shoes

    ppl who talk on the phone waaay loud

    littering!!!!

    loud typers!!!

    Anniversary
  • People who cut me off without using a turn signal (if you're gonna cut me off, at least give me some warning!).

    When people tell me I'm being "too quiet" in my office (should I be randomly talking to myself all day?) or when I'm sitting a waiting office and someone randomly looks at me and says "smile!!" for no apparent reason (should I be smiling like a goon to myself all the time?).

    And the one-upping thing... totally hate that, too, haha.

    Can't stand that either...Not that hard to bring the doggy bags! But then again, that goes along with my hatred of people who litter.

    Also can't stand people who don't say thank you when you hold a door open for them. I always make it a point to say really loudly "YOU WELCOME" when they don't bother to say it. Makes them look like the jack ass they are. Wink

    OK... you HAVE to explain that one.  Either I am way too out of touch or way too old but either way, I have no idea that people describe "it" that way.  Really???

     

    And mine... 

    people who are late

    people who are rude

    people who know everyone and name drop

    people who are insecure and make up for it by knowing everything

    people who question my choices and decisions simply because they are not like their own.

  • When someone uses the last of something and doesn't replace it, or throw the empty (whatever) away.

    Going to use the restroom anywhere, whether it be in a public restroom or someone's house and there is no TPAngry

    People who think they will literally die without their cell phone..for ex: My BIL...Leaves his cell phone on the toilet while showering and answers it if it rings(while still in the shower!)...Texting while at the dinner table...just all around bad cell phone ettiquette. Thankful my H could care less about his!

    People who constantly change lanes in bumper to bumper traffic.

    People who think dogs are a lawn ornament

    People who think kids are pets....( neglect)

    That's all I got for now : )

    My boss is a bit older (69) and a widower.  He is recently ready to get back into the dating scene, and he feels compelled to discuss his love life with me.  He used the "rolling" phrase yesterday.

  • People who are late drive me nuts!  Especially when they do not call to say they are running late!  I know you have a cell phone, pick it up and tell me you will not be here on time so I am not sitting around waiting all day!  UGG!

    Also, slow walkers, especially in croweded places.  They drive me nuts, pick up the pace people!

  • When other people sneeze - it drives me INSANE.  I know that is completely unreasonable, but it seriously bugs me.  Especially if they keep sneezing over and over. 

    Slow drivers, especially if they hang out in the left lane on the freeway.

    People who act like formula is poison to a baby.  (Sorry - that's a super sensitive one for me).

    People who feel the need to impart their beliefs on others and judge others for not having the same beliefs or lifestyle (raising kids, religion, the dumb "mommy wars" over things like CIO, breastfeeding vs. formula, SAHM vs. working moms, etc, etc, etc).  I think we all judge people to an extent, but it can get out of hand.

    Parents who let their kids go completely and totally wild with seriously no rules or consequences for anything.  I'm totally not perfect, but some people it is out of control (and I know that's kind of contradicting my previous one, lol).

    People who are completely unhygenic.  Like don't brush their teeth or shower very often.

    AMEN to those two!!  It makes me so sad that women engage in behavior that is SO unsupportive of one another.  I hate that!!

    Ummm yeah... gross!! 

  • rude people and that includes cutting into a conversation you wern't apart of. or talking over me when i say something

    wearing socks with sandles (gag) (people should be horse whipped for this one)

    bad teeth or unsanitary oral hygene.

    leaving your dog in the hot car (another horse whipping offense)

    peoples lack of driving skills. on the highways it's keep right except to pass people. and when you cut me off while i'm towing a travel trailer just so you can be in front of my big a$$ then slam on the brakes you deserve the rear ending. (can't stop 13,000 lbs on a dime)

    stupid people annoy me but i think that just sums everything up

    I seriously get that All. The. Time. I must naturally look like I'm in an eternal bad mood or something. I try to give them the biggest, fakest smile I can muster.  :-D

  • Hmm..

    People who judge others for situations they don't know.

    Fake people.

    When people say, something that could offend you, and then say no offense.  Like this HR lady said to me, well your know those gen y kids they think everyone deserves a trophy, no offense... well you either meant what you said or didnt...

    People who feel they are entitled to everything

  • The only pet peeves I have are people who eat loudly and people who are late.

     

    Growing up my Dad and sister would smack their lips while eating and it drove me up the wall.  When I had dinner with DH and his family for the first time his Dad did it too...I had to literally zone him out to get through dinner...lol
